Hi, I just (finally) got around to testing this, and it all works now! thanks a 
lot. Though to be honest, it may not have had an impact. I noticed my BIOS 
settings for PCI device wakeup had been disabled (I could swear they were on, 
but after testing the patch, and wol STILL didn't work, I didn't have any 
other ideas...). And it seems WOL now works on both an unpatched 
2.6.36.1+autogroup, and a patched 2.6.37.

I haven't done any significant testing of this patch, other than the machine 
boots, the network comes up, and WOL works.

If you have any things you want me to try, to make sure the patch is correct, 
let me know.

Thanks again for working on the patches.
